Small Plywood Box

very nice job

I would have never thought to finger joint something out of plywood, but I actually kind of like the look of it. How many ply is that? Looks good.

Celebrating the plywood works nicely here.

I was wondering how you cut those joints without epic blowout.

Very nice job !

Thanks all for the nice comments.

@dStar – I count 9 layers which includes both faces. The plywood was a scrap I got from a recycle bin at a local cabinet shop – I assume it’s premium baltic birch ply. What makes the it look like it has more layers is the contrast from the glue between the layers.

@NBeener – I backed the plywood and clamped it tightly to the finger joint sled. The dado blade is very sharp which helps. All that and beginners luck too, I suppose.

Advoiding blowout with plywood is very difficult, very good work.

Wow.. it turned out great for a plywood box. Yes, sharp blades are vital for cutting without blowouts. You did a great job!
